Wisconsin chancellor supposedly negotiated the deal between M and BIG
Rumor has it the Chancelor of Wisconsin played a big role in both parties coming to terms.
Supposedly after a heated head of universities call yesterday.
She is apparently a major bad ass. Her background is in law, evidentiary law , athletics etc.
Apparently she made quite an impression on all involved.
That’s all I know.

No link? No explanation of where you heard this rumor? Or how this became "apparent" to you? Or on what basis this is being "supposed"?
November 16th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
You know, "sources."
November 17th, 2023 at 5:09 AM ^
Thamel?
November 16th, 2023 at 6:02 PM ^
I mean I naturally assumed Counterstrike
November 16th, 2023 at 6:20 PM ^
hailtothavictors42069 told me on rocket league just now that Harbaugh will actually coach vs OSU and this is all a master plan to placate everyone for now. Joining another match now, I'll relay further details soon
November 16th, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^
Taking cuts here, exactly WTF did we get out of this bullshit negotiation where we were railroaded in the first motherfucking place?
If Jim gets to coach vs. an ohio POS college, then fine, but if not, what did we get out of this crap?
November 16th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
I have a feeling we will hear more with patience. But as every older person tries to tell every young man, backing down isn't always a sign of weakness or a sign you didn't win. It's sometimes a sign that moving on is better.
And really, if the headlines moving forward are back to "wow this team is awesome" that's a good thing.
November 16th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
That's all fine and good but if he can't coach next week, any patience can kiss my ass.
But I appreciate your response, I'm not mad at you, I'm just fucking pissed off!
November 16th, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
I'm reminded of the young bull and the old bull on the hill.
November 16th, 2023 at 7:35 PM ^
You eliminate risk of the unknown.
You see this all the time in law, especially with criminal cases. Family and friends of an accused often suggest fighting against prosecutorial injustice by going to trial, but it's also not their ass on the line in the event a jury renders a verdict that isn't in line with their reasoning. You have to take extra care to make sure the client is making the best decision for them. Plea bargains occur for previously that reason. Risk and cost elimination for both sides.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
But in this case if the judge issued a verdict against us it would be the same as where we are now.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
No, you have the potential can of worms opened via testimony that led to the denial.
November 16th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
What about our resident AD insider, the one and only GoJ???
November 16th, 2023 at 6:03 PM ^
Came from a personal source close to harbaugh. Check out her background. Seems credible to me. If you don’t like it sorry, but this person has been spot on.
when I told him I thought this might mean harbaugh leaving he said “ no way, if anything this will fuel him to beat them over and over and over again”.
He’s known Jim since Pioneer. That’s all I got.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
I like what I’m hearing so I choose to believe it!
November 16th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
Hell yea this is how I go through life myself as well. I am a believer too!

Background:
https://chancellor.wisc.edu/about/
Of note, she donated a kidney to her father. Not your everyday detail in a chancellor bio .....
November 16th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Anyone who donates a kidney, family or not, deserves a special place in heaven.
November 16th, 2023 at 7:36 PM ^
I get wicked kidney stones, I should go to hell if I ever donate one.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Drink water. When you are no longer thirsty, drink more water.
I’ve had kidney stones 3 times. I finally started hydrating properly and haven’t had another for 15 years.
(Another tip, don’t eat a 2.5 pound jar of cashews in a week. I’m convinced that is what got me last time.)
November 16th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
I've noticed a decrease when cutting out oxalates like nuts. I drink water with lemon juice daily. Always worse in the South here with the heatv during summer
November 16th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
I got put on the table this spring to get a ureteroplasty. A pair of lithrotirpsies and some misbehaving stones got me to that point.
I go under, the surgeon tips me over to make sure I still need the procedure. Strictly pro forma. Except....... I pass the test. Most surprisingly. Doc then passes thru me the largest gauge tube he has thru my ureter. No problem. Then he convenes a conference call with other docs to discuss my case. In the end he declines to do the procedure. On the table for more than 3 hours and no procedure.
Post-op he tells me this is a 1 in 100 occurrence. But it gets weirder.
By the end of the summer the scar tissue is basically gone.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
I put my gift of a kidney and liver on my resume too.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
Having two relatives with only a single kidney each, if given a choice between kidney stones and a life of dialysis, well, you probably know the answer. Sorry yours excels at things it shouldn't, and I hope there is some remedy in your future.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Well said pal.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:26 PM ^
I went to school with Mnookin.
November 16th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
She's impressive, no doubt. I wonder what she said to convince the big 10 to accept a deal that conceded absolutely nothing.
November 17th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Probably something a long the lines of these guys generate almost 40% of the conferences tv revenue.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
Wonderful long term news. Thank you for sharing.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
I so want this to be true and Harbaugh stepping back to come out strong ala 2021 Harbaugh is the kind of Harbaugh I like. Hope it is true. Watch our MFers in B1G.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:12 PM ^
I hated those Pioneer guys back in high school, but I love them today.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
Thank you!
I actually have little interest in her or her background or how morally reprehensible her posterior is.
But I do love the idea of cold, calculating Jim Harbaugh setting his jaw, and today being the first step in prolonged, determined football-assault upon all who have displayed such malice this last month.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
Ok, cool hook em or something….this “rumor” is interesting, but I don’t think it’s out of line to ask for some details. What is the connection? Why was this person tapped in as the mediator? If it was a mediation, what concessions did UM extract for capitulating? Make it make sense, but very much unironically.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
Probably, she was a neutral party respected by both sides.
I imagine we're not going to be privy to the details of the negotiation.
November 16th, 2023 at 7:04 PM ^
I'm sure she is great and if she was a voice of reason, fantastic. I'm also sure Luke Fickell was part of the chorus of coaches calling this the worst thing ever. I'm also sure that even if that is Jim's attitude, it is only matter of time before some other small "violation" molehill turns into a mountain.
EDIT: Grammar

Any time someone says my source “has been spot on,” run like hell
November 16th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
I bet she knows a little about cheese too.

Source of rumor?
November 16th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
No source needed, as it’s common sense. The Chancellor just badgered both sides until they capitulated.
I’ll see myself out…
November 16th, 2023 at 6:13 PM ^
They probably chewed over the negotiations for hours...
I'll follow you.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:24 PM ^
Dam this was good.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
Badger my ass. It's probably Milhouse
November 16th, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
It’s a badger alright…so what do we do?
November 16th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
Badger my ass.
From your mouth to God's ear.

Thanks for posting this rumor. Good to hear that she is a bad ass.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
both parties coming to terms.
So what were the terms that the conference yielded on? That next time it fucks Michigan it'll be polite and use some lube?
